Staff & Work Teams

Program Work Teams (PWTs) involve faculty and staff, extension educators, and external stakeholders to provide a mechanism through which faculty and extension educators connect with stakeholders in identifying issues, studying needs, creating educational materials, and designing learning experiences that address these issues and needs within specific content areas. If you have interest in becoming a member of our team, please reach out!
